Effectivess and Attitude for me. As a java programmer i believe that a good criteria is not how deep the knowledge they have in Java or the Experience they have but how do they perform in System Development. Is how meet the deadline with almost no detectable errors.
And another one is attitude, there some programmer (im speaking in General) that are so uncooperative and bossy who threat themselves as a superstars and wants everyone to pamper them just because they graduated in some classy schools or got those cool positions. Yes i would follow his lead but he wont earn my respect. For me being humble, approachable and reliable is another way of determining a Good Programmer, because most of the time we are working as a team and we wouldnt want to waste time arguing it is much better to work in harmony. ^_^
Thats only my Opinion.
